Chef Andy Husbands points out that the wasted money not only feeds children it pays local farmers. JudyAnn Bigby, director of the Harvard Medical School Center of Excellence in Women’s Health, connects the lack of healthy food in the food deserts of low-income neighborhoods with the disturbing rise in diabetes and cancer.
